Mau

Mau is a Dark Pal in Palworld with 70 base HP, 70 Attack and 70 Defence. Its strongest base skill is Farming Lv1, ranking 19 of the 29 Pals with Farming suitability.

Its hard tail does not deteriorate even when cut off. Some believed these severed tails bring good luck, but for the innumerable Mau who were poached as a result, they were anything but.

Levels are when Mau learns each skill naturally. Skills marked Egg are inherited rather than learned, and can be passed on through breeding. Power ranks count every skill with a power value.

Innate passive skills

Mau has no innate passive skill.

Every Pal of this species is born with these, on top of any rolled traits.
